Benefits Of Concussion Baseline Testing

​

1. Individuals receive more personalized and tailored care because the healthcare provider is comparing their progress to their own “normal”.

2. Healthcare providers have more objective information that helps them make more informed decisions throughout a patient’s recovery.

​

Baseline testing measures your brain function in a normal, healthy state — before a concussion.

If you get a concussion, doctors will use your baseline score to help decide:

• What you need to do to get better.

• How to treat you.

• When it's safe for you to return to your sport.

What Is ImPACT?

​

ImPACT (immediate post-concussion assessment and cognitive testing) is a computer-based assessment tool. It's the most effective tool for comparing a person's neurocognitive state before a concussion occurs.
